I'm a big fan of this man's work, and have been since around 2015. He's always created this kind of high quality, useful and artful unique work.

Someone with skills in art and programming. An all round creative person. Very cool! It was clear back then and it's clear now. One of the top creatives that's working in this space.

I think their instagram is also beautiful Leica M6 work: https://instagram.com/terkelg

Working as a professional software developer has probably made me an insufferable cynic. But the top 3 projects on Github all look like superficial soon-to-be abondonware to me. Looks fantastic on a resume. But if you need a prompt in your Node CLI just implement it. It's not that hard. Don't pull in another node dependency for this one simple use case in your application.

It probably has. You probably need a more artistic and wider perspective.

But also you haven't studied this guy for a long time and seen his work and creativity over a long period. The guy's the real deal, you're just not qualified to see it because you haven't put in the time, and, as you say, perhaps biased toward being a dismissive, pessimistic meanie by virtue of your unfortunate cynicism.

I hope you find a way out of that! :)

It's not that hard, but I'd rather see `import prompts` for even a couple of prompting uses than your hand-written 20 line ad-hoc re-implementation using `readline`.

At least this module doesn't pull in too much more; just 3 total vs 14 for `prompt`.

+1 I want something that looks pretty similar for Ratatui (a rust TUI lib). https://github.com/joshka/tui-prompts is a start.

Cool. I encourage you to post a show hn!
